SHARKS confirmed in British Seas… GREAT WHITE??

[@babycharliebrown]

Excellent and informative video. I’m retired now but my PhD is in Marine Biology from the University of Glasgow. As well as being entertaining, videos like your own are vital in making the public aware of the wonderful and surprising array of marine species around our British shores. I’ve just discovered your channel but will certainly be watching more of your content and sharing it with friends. Thank you and keep up your good work.

[@AirbornePirates]

Thank you that’s great to hear from somebody who really knows their stuff! So as a marine biologist, do you think white sharks come into our waters? 😬🦈

[@babycharliebrown]

@@AirbornePirates I’d say it’s quite probable that they do, but visits are probably fairly rare and confined to our Southern coast line. With water temperatures likely to edge upwards in the future, these visits may become more common and extend further north. As we have other Mackerel shark species with similar physiological requirements in our waters, it’s perfectly possible that they could cope with conditions. I hadn’t realised you were in the Isle of Man. I fondly remember spending time at the marine station in Port Erin as a student in the 70’s. Not exactly yesterday and not sure if it’s still there. Look forward to watching your future content. Kind regards.

[@AirbornePirates]

@@babycharliebrown thanks again! Yes the marine bio centre is still there although suffered severe damage a few years back from fire

[@theRhinsRanger]

@@AirbornePirates I used to be an avid shore fisherman, I say shore but you have to walk miles and climb up and down cliffs to get to the good Mark's. I've fished since I was 7. At Portpatrick they used to longline Spurdogs, I remember crates upon crates every time the boats come in, it was quite sad to see. They practically fished them to near extinction here around 1991. Anyway in 2005 I started fishing really heavily and over 2005- 2010 I noticed a big change in southern species moving to marks further north, noticeably Smoothhounds. I was catching tope again up to 50lb from the shore, smoothhounds on peeler and hermit crab. The Smoothhounds were going further north every year in bigger numbers. Common skate had been fished out in this area way back in the day and since about 2012 the boat lads have been catching them more regularly every year. Spurdogs dogs have also now in the past 10 years made a big comeback and are regularly being caught off boat and shore.

[@thephantom2man]

Just came across your channel and i have to say i loved this vid, i had to subscribe! Ive only ever seen sharks in uk waters once, but it was this time last year, on my way into eastbourne on a mini break i went up beachy head as id always wanted to go up there and see the lighthouse, and i could not believe my eyes! I saw not one, but 2 basking sharks on the surface probably a mile out.. but they were absolutely unmistakeable, they were literally cruising on the surface and visibility that day was very good although a little grey, but they were absolitely huge, my best estimate was they were both around 25 feet long, as i could see them so clearly from so far away

[@paulhunt8852]

Liked the video before I even watched it because I knew it would be fascinating! Honestly like you, it's only a matter of time someone captures a Great White on their mobile phone camera to prove the doubters. One thing that troubles me with the South Africa comparison is the fact the waters may be the same quality and temperature although it's been like this for hundreds of years and we've yet to have hard proof of Great White UK. Great video once again.

Those hammerheads & makos sure get around. As a schoolboy (12/13) in the 60s, on a camping trip near Port Antonio (Jamaica), we found a dead hammerhead on the beach nearby. About 8 feet, weirdly beautiful, locals told us it tangled itself in a fisherman's net and drowned. Happens occasionally and really pisses fishermen off, i.e. wrecked net, full of now mangled fish! More interestingly, wife of nearby property owner claimed to have caught a blue mako on rod and line while trawling not that far offshore. That was more scary, as we understood that they are fairly aggressive with form on attacking humans. We didn't swim much that weekend! In fact, more like 'paddling' than real swimming...no friendly reef barring access to that stretch of coast.

[@jimmypenrose1401]

I think you've almost certainly got great whites in UK waters. I would be far more amazed to learn that you didn't. I know they're certainly around around the coast of Massachusetts and Maine in the US; and that's not a lot different than the UK waters either - I suspect they can generally be happy anywhere there's lots of seals to eat and minimal orca presence to harass them. In the northern Atlantic I think whites can be much more elusive, mainly because the water is typically much more opaque - it really works well with their natural camouflage. It's not quite like the crystal clear, turquoise water you'll find in Australia, South Africa or California where you'll easily see the shadow beneath the surface from a distance. That's just the way the North Atlantic is...it doesn't really matter which side of it you're on. But, just because you can't see them, doesn't mean they aren't there. I'm not sure if you've checked this out, but this guy has an interesting way of looking for great whites in LA. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eanYm6uXjcmph6c

The lifeguards at Sennen in Cornwall in the 1980's tell a story of low tide at Sennen Cove, that left a massive sand bank with a fairly deep channel connecting at both ends of the raised sand bank. All the people were on the ocean side of the bank and the lifeguards; some using binoculars watched a *blue shark enter the channel at the north end, swim around the back of all the people and exit via the south end. No-one noticed, they reckoned it was around 5 -7 foot long. *A lot of them have family backgrounds in off-shore fishing so were confident on the identification - but having seen your video Tope might be a contender given the size.

It's worth noting that the word shark is English and in other parts of the non english speaking world they are referred to as Pesci (fish) or Grand Pesci (big fish) or Tiburon in Spanish, so many encounters go unrecorded. The term shark is actually Tudor slang referring to a nasty bloke who'd stab you an a dark alley.

Most probably came into English from German "Schurke" (villain, rogue). In many languages it's English translation would be equivalent to "Sea Dog", as is in South Slavic languages (Morski pas). In Dalmatia, along Adriatic cost, a special status, so to speak, is recognised to the Great White, where it is called "Psina", connotative translation of which would be "A big, rogue, dog".

[@daleanderin1]

I reckon they do frequent British waters in Summers, considering they regulate their body temperatures that not all sharks can do, this means they can tolerate our temperate waters in Summers when they would be naturaly warmer. Only thing that goes against the theory for me is that they would'v been landed in fishermens catches by now if they were frequent visitors, but they have not been caught YET.

[@thezanzibarbarian5729]

Most people believe that Gt. Whites live in warm waters. Though they may commonly be found around areas of land that are considered warm (i.e. South Africa, USA, Australia, et al.), they normally keep to the colder waters of those areas. Therefore, the UK's waters are areas that the Gt. White would find suitable. What isn't suitable for Gt. Whites around UK waters are it's main prey. Seals. The UK does not have the really vast seal populations that you get in other areas to keep populations of Gt. Whites. But there are Gt. Whites in UK waters. However, they're probably just visitors and will not hang around for long but when they're seen, they make the news headlines. Not sure that the Mako would be the most dangerous shark in UK waters. After all, they're primarily fish feeders. I'd be more worried about Porbeagles and Hammerheads. And if you seen Orca, then you're safe in the knowledge that no Gt. White is going to be within 100 miles of you 8-))... Great video. Very interesting.

I've had porgies bump me in the kayak, and I am under no illusions that the chances are very high that we have the occasional visiting Great White visiting our shores in Jersey Channel Islands, we have a decent seal population, and they have been seen many times less than 200 miles away in France, our waters at the moment is 18c mid September, so our waters can easily be accessible by these species

I’d love a porgies to come up to my kayak! Would be mega!

@@AirbornePirates I rather a porgie bump the kayak, than our damn seals attempting to board, only happened the once but crapped me up big time off St. Catherine's breakwater, we get a lot of porgies close to shore in Jersey off the North coast because of the deep water. Guernsey even had one caught on float in their harbour lol

Great video with actual information about species. Large Porbeagle is a new one for me. Always thought they were small like dogfish. However, basking sharks can't be largest vertebrate. Most whales, blue whales in particular, surpass their size as vertebrates. Maybe quote was about waters around UK. Don't know if you have whales there.

Plenty of Whales in UK waters, one even swam up to Chelsea in London a few years ago.
